The New Hampshire Department of Transportation worked to repair damaged roads following the rain storm. Flood waters damaged miles of Route 12-A.

“All of a sudden I hear this vicious thumping and cracking , and the water was rising and it came into my backyard,” said Steven Scripture of Surry. “Thompson Brook is a vicious brook when it flows hard.”

Neighbor Gennie Cushing said there was little time to prepare because the storm happened so quickly.

“All of a sudden the clouds came over and it just poured,” Cushing said. “You couldn’t see 2 inches ahead of you. The road was all covered with water. We could hear rocks rolling around. The brook came up over the edge over there and it was, like, all within 10 minutes.”

The pavement broke along the road’s side. As a result, multiple roads in the neighborhood were closed while crews fixed the damage.

Surry wasn’t the only town damaged by the storm. The road gave way at the intersection of North Charlestown Road and Maple Avenue in Claremont, causing a sinkhole.

Thousands of people lost power in Henniker, but it had been repaired by early Saturday afternoon.

IT CAUSED SEVERAL ROADS TO WASH OUT. HERE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST-HIT AREAS. THE 49 RAINS CAME DOWN WITH SUCH FORCE MAY ACTUALLY PUT WASHED AWAY -- THE FRIDAY NIGHT'S RAINS CAME DOWN WITH SUCH FORCE THEY ACTUALLY WASHED AWAY SOME OF THE ROADS. RECOVERY IS UNDERWAY. ALL DAY SATURDAY, THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WORKED FEVERISHLY TO REPAIR DAMAGED ROADS FOLLOWING FRIDAY NIGHT'S RAIN STORMS. THEY WERE DAMAGED BY FLOODWATERS. IN THE ROAD WAS MAYBE ONE AND A HALF FEET. HE LIVES A LONG ROAD AND SAYS THE RAPID RAIN COUPLED WITH THUNDER FORCED THE FLOODING. I COULD TELL THE WATER WAS RISING. IT IS A VICIOUS BROOK WHEN THE WATER FLOWS HIGH. THE NEIGHBORS SAID THERE WAS LITTLE TIME TO PREPARE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO FAST. YOU COULD NOT SEE TOO INCHES AHEAD OF YOU. IT WAS POURING. A -- TWO INCHES AHEAD OF YOU. IT WAS POURING. THE GROUP WAS FLOODED AND YOU COULD LOOK TO THE EDGE OVER THERE AND IT ALL HAPPENED IN 10 MINUTES. JUST LIKE THAT. THE PAVEMENT BROKE ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AS A RESULT, MOST OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WERE CLOSED ALL DAY WHILE CREWS FIX THE DAMAGE. BUT THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY TOWN IMPACTED APPEARED IN CLERMONT, THE ROAD GAVE WAY AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH CHARLESTON ON ROAD AND MAPLE AVENUE. IN HENNEBERG, THOUSANDS LOST POWER. BY EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. BUT BACK IN SURRY, THIS IS WHERE THEY HAVE THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, WHICH CONTAINS THE ROADWAYS AND FLOOD DAMAGE IN PEOPLE'S YARDS.
